alright it's finally fixed. i put in 168 bulbs in there instead of the 194s. i guess the wattage of the 194s was not high enough. the 4.9 watt 168s fixed it. the lexus owners manual states the bulb size is 921 for some reason.
thanks everyone!
i'm just going to leave a few key words below for ease of future searches.

What was Lexus thinking? 921's don't even come close.

Now I purchased 5 more for the high mount brake light. When I put these 7-LED bulbs in it triggers the brake warning light... It bothered me so much I just put back the original bulbs. (took me a while to figure out it were the bulbs, I had checked everything, fluid level, etc.)
I guess only the V-Led bulbs don't trigger the warning light.

This thread is correct, the 168's do indeed work and correct the dash brake warning lamp. Its not that Lexus was wrong with the 921's, its that they are a different type of 921's or they have discontinued the original 921. The current 921's are "921 ST" or whatever the letters are afterwards. How do I know this? Because the lights I replaced where factory bulbs and they did say "921" on them followed by a single letter, cannot remember now but I think it was "F". These 921's that I replaced where also the correct size, while the newer 921's are larger.

I couldn't find 194 bulbs at walmart but I had two 2825 - 5W bulbs in a package in my glovebox I replaced the burned out bulb and then tested the unit before installing back in the car. One of the four original remaining bulbs in unit burned out when I tested so I had to replace another bulb. I tested again and all works well with no dash light indicator of a burned out bulb.
Is the 2825 bulb a suitable replacement for the 194?
